TED Talk EvaluationsBy Linda Kim
The speaker I have chosen for this assignment is Matt Mills’ “Image
recognition that triggers augmented reality” talk.
He also had an assistant on the stage to help him show off the technology to the
audience. Her name is Tamara Roukaerts.
Basically, his speech was about technology advancing fast enough that he and a group of other UK developers have created the ability to augment reality with images
from your camera phone. They had the application created so that it is easy to use
for the mass.
Matt Mills captured the audience by asking hypothetical questions at the
beginning of his speech. He brought the audience to think about themselves and have it concern themselves. He kept the information simple to understand for the
audience as well as bringing interest to all different types of people. Throughout his
speech, Mills showed examples of his product to the audience. He made the idea
sound likable and useable to major companies to the adolescent child.
For instance, he showed a morning printed newspaper to show what the
headline is happening right now, regarding the same topic.
Mills even showed ways that could help people if
they ever needed an “How-To-Guide”.
Mills showed ways where holiday cards could be enhanced with a video.
I think that Mills best followed the first commandment very well. He presented an idea that hasn’t been perfected. He showed and idea, with a collaboration of many people, the
capabilities of the future. He talked about and idea, a project, a future that hasn’t been seen, or even heard,
often. His presentation amazed many people, and probably clicked new ideas to future minds.
One the scale of 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest), in terms of dynamism, Mills’ presentation was a 4. It was engaging, but there were times where it
was awkward. He would stand there not knowing what to do, or at least that is what I have
perceived from time to time. I think that he could improve by being more energetic and
getting into what he was presenting.
From Nancy Duarte, Mills told presentation in an order. He spoke with
a flow of a story like structure. He spoke in equal story telling but giving
information as well.
From watching Mills, I learned that you need to grab the attention of the audience at the beginning. Having the audience interact in some way is a good thing. It keeps the audience engaged to the topic. I would need to speak in a story like structure in my presentation. I also need to be more dynamic during my presentation.
Robinson and Mills have similar and yet very different ways they present. They both
engage the audience, but in different ways. Robinson makes the audience think and
reflect upon society, while Mills thinks of their daily lives.
I think that Robinson is a little bit more animated in his voice tone. He doesn’t talk in a monotone
voice. Mills, however, has somewhat of a dull tone. Sometimes he talks a little
unenthusiastically.
They both crack jokes every now and then, but I’ve noticed that Robinson tells more jokes and metaphors than Mills. Robinson has a way of
making his audience laugh. It was only towards the end of the presentation that Mills had a
laughing and smiling audience.
From what I have seen and learned from my TED Talk, I would have the audience be more
active and ask hypothetical questions to them as well. I would give them visual
examples of what I’m talking about or even just visual cues. I think considering those in mind would help you, my fellow classmates, in your future presentations. Of course some presentations would need more visual than others, but having some would help keep
things interesting.
